Ouch. How warped does one's thinking have to be to call "A theory of justice" (1971) for pluralistic, democratic societies, a "religion"?
It seems to me that right-wingers love hyperbole and rhetoric, without addressing the meat of the matter.
Your post is no different, being entirely free of reason. A good day to you, Sir.
Fair enough. How dare I question your thing that's not a religion. I must be warped.
Still, aren't you at least a little bit curious? Why did it have to be invented in 1971? What is it replacing?
